'98 Alfa 156 2.0 TS
Just put a deposit on a 1998 156 2.0 TS - slightly concerned as price
seemed low (4000) for the mileage (under 50,000) Looks to be in excellent condition (left front wheel makes grinding noise - seems to be worn pads) but dealer assures this will be fixed before delivery Any thoughts - or are Alfa's just very cheap cars secondhand?? |

Unless you buy new. My high miler 98 2.0 TS cost me Ł3200 18 months ago. Frankly, I don't why anyone drives anything else but Alfas when they can be picked up in fine fettle for so little. -- I Amuse (I am Hughes.) Judge Nutmeg in #Digi 1998 156 2.0 TS Sport |

Looks like a fair price to me.
Indeed, not expensive second hand, but not expensive new as well. Compared to i.e. BMW/Audi the depreciation in % is higher, but in pounds/euro is less!! -- Ciao from Holland AlfistaGJ (Gert-Jan) Rosso Radicofani GT 2.0JTS Golden Montreal 1428700 (1973/4) "IanT" > schreef in bericht ups.com... > Just put a deposit on a 1998 156 2.0 TS - slightly concerned as price > seemed low (4000) for the mileage (under 50,000) > > Looks to be in excellent condition (left front wheel makes grinding > noise - seems to be worn pads) but dealer assures this will be fixed > before delivery > > Any thoughts - or are Alfa's just very cheap cars secondhand?? > |

Ok - sounds like I didn't get too bad a deal then
Thanks for the replies (just can't wait to get my hands on it now - after 6 years of a basic Primera I'm looking forward to having a motor to care about - instead something just to get from A to B) IanT "alfistagj" > wrote in message ... > Looks like a fair price to me. > Indeed, not expensive second hand, but not expensive new as well. > Compared to i.e. BMW/Audi the depreciation in % is higher, but in > pounds/euro is less!! > -- > Ciao from Holland > AlfistaGJ (Gert-Jan) > Rosso Radicofani GT 2.0JTS > Golden Montreal 1428700 (1973/4) > > "IanT" > schreef in bericht > ups.com... >> Just put a deposit on a 1998 156 2.0 TS - slightly concerned as price >> seemed low (4000) for the mileage (under 50,000) >> >> Looks to be in excellent condition (left front wheel makes grinding >> noise - seems to be worn pads) but dealer assures this will be fixed >> before delivery >> >> Any thoughts - or are Alfa's just very cheap cars secondhand?? >> > > |
